Community Engagement: Making it Real, Making it Count
Webinar recording
If you work in the community sector, service delivery agencies or public policy, you might have wondered: why is everything ‘place-based’ and ‘community-led’ these days? Have you pondered what the buzz words mean – and whether they’re even real?
We hear you.
That's why we came together for a real chat about community engagement, led by experts in the field.
Our webinar in December 2025 tackled the big issues: why community engagement matters, what it can look like, and where it can take us. (And whether it can actually create ‘place-based change’.)
